Our family is legend for trick-wrapping gifts so you can’t tell what is in them. That said, I’m giving my mom a decorative doormat for her birthday and it’s just too big to wrap. So I made a mini version out of a scrap of leather, and I’ll give it to her in a jewelry box.

That’s awesome!
I got tired of trick-wrapping one year, so instead I just numbered all the gifts instead of putting names on them, and kept the “key” in a hidden file on my computer. It drove my kids crazy being able to guess what some of them were, but not knowing who they were for!

It is adorable! Great thinking! Hope it gets a permanent home with a dollhouse after her birthday.

Awesome mini reproduction. Mission accomplished, she will definitely not be able to guess that gift.

Easy-peasy. I just downloaded a photo of the mat from Home Depot’s website, converted to black and white, applied threshold, and engraved at high lpi.
